On my eighth day of HSM…………something unimaginable for me before I started. I still crave for a beer (20), I drive past my usual bottlo’s and the urge is there to go in, but I have resisted. I am looking forward to the day when the thought of alcohol disappears from my mind as for so long it has been my constant companion. To make it easier for myself in the short term, I am going to avoid boozy situations as I have already declined a work related free for all function. 11 weeks to go….and maybe beyond!!!! 

On my way..

Survived my first night! Felt very grumpy all night, could not sleep; but small price to pay. Weekends coming up so it will be another big hurdle as usually it is unlimited consumption. Watching rugby league and boozing has been the norm with my mates, but on Saturday night I am taking my 11 yo son to watch AFL on the Gold Coast so hopefully this will eliminate the peer pressure from the usual indulgence. I am determined to last the weekend, my fist weekend for years and years.

Getting Started

Has taken me a while after I registered to gain enough courage to get started….here I go! I am now confident I will not let myself down. I have no idea what it is going to be like without alcohol for a night as I haven\’t experienced this for a long long time, maybe 15 years. Had about 20 beers watching state of origin last night and not very proud of myself this morning. So tonight is the big test.
